Ive got them, and this is going to be my 3rd summer with them. Im not really sure but they still have a lot of tread left on them. I haven't needed to rotate them yet but then again i dont break them loose that often. The tread pattern is amazing, it looks soo mean! Where did you find the tires for sale?

for those looking at 19" veredestein tires......i've got the 275/30/19 in the back and they suck from a dead stop. no traction at all. the tread being laid on the ground is very narrow. they are very good in hadling wet and dry conditions and have worn well. i was very surprised at how good they are in wet conditions.
here is a pic of my rear tire with about 15k miles and shows the tread being put down.
the general consensus with the 17" tires is that they are great but the 19" one i have aren't that great.
i recently got some 315/35/17 and 275/40/17 sumitomo tires and even given the difference in sidewall, they ride very similar when aired up to almost maximum on either brand. but the lead goes to sumis when the road has hard bumps. and the sumis ride very smooth if the tire is aired down to about 25 psi.

Also, is that the 275 in the pic?

on 19" rpm 505 wheels and veredestein 245/35/19 fronts/275/30/19 rears and my na mods in my sig.... the car was doing 2.4-2.6 60 foots since i had to let off the gas and then lightly get back on because of the nonstop spinning. it was horrible. lol. my tires aren't even good for a roll race.

yeah..that is a 275/30/19 on a 19x9.5 rpm 505 wheel. you can see that it only puts down maybe 8" of tread to the ground. if i had to do it again, i'd get at least a 295 for a 9.5 since it seems veredesteins are very narrow. the 275 seems to put about the same tread as a 245 in other brands. the 275 is for a fact putting less tread down than a 255/40/18 potenza.

I have 275/40/17 Vredesteins, went from 245/50/16 GS-D3s.... would make the same decision over and over again. The rim protector works great and doesn't look bad either, and I get a lot of comments on the tread pattern.
Taking into account the wider tread rating and the smaller, stiffer sidewall, the tires are more responsive than my old Goodyears and not only that, they're quieter and actually ride nicer believe it or not. They also handle better, and are cheaper! They don't hook like slicks of course but for a handling-oriented street tire, they're great. You can't beat that.... I'd definitely go wider in the rear. I've had my tires on for almost a year now I think.

I have 275/315 and really like them. Idk how they compare width wise to other brands because I have yet to see any other 315s in person. The wet traction is really good and dry is pretty good too. The last tires I had were htrz2 275s and these are better.

here is a 245/35/19 and a 275/30/19 each are marked with their size on the tire. pretty gotdam narrow. i have sumis on 17" wheels now and the 275/40/17 lays much wider to the ground than the vredestein and supposedly sumis are a narrow tire. the the difference between the veredesteins is very little even though the spec is a 30mm diference but does not look like it at all.
